Number Plates as a Miniature Billboard



Where can you write a message out on a piece of tin (or maybe plastic) and reach millions of people? Its a good question for any pub quiz isn't it. The answer? "On a personalised number plate"


This thin message board allows you to get your point across to thousands of other road users, and all you have to do is to drive around each day! This is one of the aspects of personalised car number plates that you don't often hear.


Spreading your message without having to speak is a useful aspect of private registrationship ownership, and this passive communication that has been steadily gaining in popularity with many.


Just where or who started this trend is hard to find, but its power cannot be denied. Every year millions of people promote their view of the world via creatively designed car number plates.


It is a deceptively simple form of communication and can have great impact. These messages can inspire, amuse, amaze or simply raise awareness. They are used to promote their businesses or to share whatever viewpoint they want.


They are easy to get too, all that is needed is to create an alphanumeric message using the amount of digits allowed, buy the plate and get it registered to your vehicle.


A personalised plate might well be the cheapest and most enduring form of advertising available today.
